It does not seem that you know what you are talking about. Barring the possibility of the NPP being returned to power via the obvious incompetence of the EC, we are also confronted by the equally frightening fact that the alternatives to the NPP govt are not much better. The worst one, in terms of mining policies, is that of the NDC.

In one of the strangest pronouncements, Mahama intends to free jailed galamseyers because he obviously does not believe that ignorance of the law by poor workers is not an excuse to flout it. That being the case, he should likewise consider and free the thousands of poor and ignorant people who fill up our jails. It used to be said that the law is no respected. Looking at both the NPP and the NDC attitude, I wonder if that saying still holds true.

Why bother yourself with these propaganda fools who know small scale mining is legal but are equating it to galamsey. Who takes a permit to undertake illegal activities?

U see in issue we still have people trying to shift blame to some unknown persons. So u Ignoramus what are you saying? Did the president not promise of stopping galamsey? Do your investigation and see which has ever given licenses to companies as compared to Akuffo Addo? If Akuffo Addo is doing the things that kept him there we should keep quiet because we're eating in Akuffo Addo table? No Npp member loves Ghana.

So let me come down to your level. Tell me who gives licenses to galamsey operators. As for licenses small-scale companies, the Minerals Commission grants license. So show me evidence of a license given to someone to work on a water body by Minerals Commission. I will be waiting for your proof.

Stop f00ling. It is the same license the small scale miners are using to do illegalities. The licence is just a piece of paper but the actions are done with impunity..

Please let’s read about the mandate of the Minerals Commission. Someone said some licensed miners also do galamsey. With that one, I cannot disagree

You missed the point. the MP didn't said a new register companies. he said new mining license were issued to those companies based on the location they are mining. so one company can apply for two mining license to mine in two different location that is why their names was mentioned twice based on how many license issued to them.

It is time the constitution changes, give power back to the people via parliament and strip the prez of ultimate powers now before it is too late.

There should be a need of 75% approval from parliament so it is no more "winner takes all" system like lotto but all inclusive governance, so we can take the best longterm decisions for the country. With this we can see the relevance of even small parties in parliament and this will bolster the growth our beloved country. Currently power is in the hands of a greedy individual with his party whips who only have their interests paramount to that of the nation and absolutely no love for the nation.

Jut imagine that currently, the prez have almost all the power to appointment all public sector managers, ministers, military/police commanders, auditor Gen, attorney Gen, EC boss etc... At the end this will make the system work to his favor, making him corrupt and will not have respect for the people and vitto his way everywhere. Today the prez or minister can decide to go for huge loans without national interest in the name of the nation without proper checks and approval from parliament, even if it goes through parliament they will vitto it bcos they have 50+1 representation there.

Unfortunately this is an old outdated constitution left behind by Jerry who wanted only partial democracy and partial dictatorship bcos of the era.

The prez should have limited power and parliament have the most power else if this power gets into the wrong hands, we all shall suffer it. It is about time we called for a holistic overhaul of such an outdated system of governance. We shouldn't leave currupt investigations in the hands of the prez, it will simply not work. I believe a joint party government system will help this country a lot. This is just my opinion but your ideas are also welcome.

One man can't solve the problem of Ghana, let's be honest, he is not a supernatural being but together we all cam make possible. Even the British who we learnt from have changed their democratic system. In Europe, it is mostly a joint government and practice a more socialist style than a capitalist one (which only works for America). Just imagine, all our essential resources and services have been left in the hands of the greedy rich running a monopoly without price control from the government which has made standard of living very high for the poor Ghanaian.

Nkrumah was the only one that had a socialist mind set. Mahama and the NDC please prove your critics wrong and change the course of this country for the better. Npp is all about the money and their party but not the people, we already know their agenda.

This idea will pave way for even smaller and upcoming political parties to have a strong voice in parliament, so Ghana benefits as a whole not just a few greedy individuals.

Democracy meaning: Gov of the people, by the people and for the people.

we need to get more serious and kill those who are bent to destroy the water bodies.
if you see any group of people mining alongside any water body or in the forest, mobilise the community folks go there in force and kill them.
if you don't act for killing them, they would kill you by poisoning the water you drink.
2. don't spare those in the Authority who are responsible for issuing the license .
detect their family and where they live, then start attacking them.
if the license is not issued , the miners won't go to the forest, so we need to tackle those who are issuing the license first. they must die to safe this country
